Measure between wire and compressor case. I am not sure about the 190D but some compressors use case as ground and only one wire for clutch. Some compressors have a pressure switch for other wire or a sensor which detects if compressor is turning. Trampas -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

My idea is to raise sales tax. If you buy crap you pay more taxes. Of course this would cause people to actually save money and drive us into a recession. But it would be a completely fair tax. After all why should you be taxed going in (income tax) and coming out (sales tax)? Trampas
